Since I started eating meat after many years and cutting out grains and beans, I have had allergy symptoms like congestion and post-nasal drip every day. The symptoms are worth the overall improvement in the way I feel so I wouldn't go back to being vegetarian. I thought it was just coincidence but Susan's post made me wonder. Have other people on the list started having allergy symptoms when they changed their diet? It seem like a lot of people I talk to (ages 26-35) have started getting allergy symptoms in the last few years. I wonder if something has changed in the environment or if it's just part of getting older. I did read something that suggested that the rise in asthma and allergies may be connected to the increasing cleanliness of our environments. That wouldn't apply to me though :^).
